Color Rendering (CRI): 90+ (never buy LEDs that have a score less than 90). A score of 80 is actually worse than fluorescent lighting. Color Temperature: 3000K (I don't recommend 3500K for residential projects) Lumens: 2450 Wattage: 27 Power Supply/Driver: Included as part of the light fixture housing. Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly vanity light can be an effective strategy to reduce project cost.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST PREMIUM LED VANITY LIGHT:
Dimming:
All dimmers are not created equal. Flickering and buzzing can often be traced back to using a dimmer that isn’t compatible with the LED, or to connecting too many LEDs to a single dimmer. Quality lighting manufacturers often publish literature on which dimmer lines can be used with their LED light fixture. This particular light manufacturer has published a list of compatible dimmers for this light on page 3 of the cutsheet. For my projects I like to use Lutron dimmers. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
Value Engineering & Alternates:
If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, consider this value-conscious vanity light from Canarm. If on the other hand you're willing to spend a bit more for optimal lighting, I highly recommend a mirror integrated light like this one from Eurofase.
